At the beginning of the English Civil War in 1642, the Parliamentarians had several advantages, including control of London and its resources, which provided them with logistical support. They also had the backing of a significant portion of the populace and the ability to raise funds through taxes. Conversely, the Royalists, loyal to King Charles I, had the advantage of experienced military leaders and loyalist support in rural areas, but overall, the Parliamentarians’ initial strategic positions and resources gave them a stronger foothold.
